Friday evening on the occasion of the ap
pearance of "A Pair of Kids," and hew
the old countryman visits the great city
and unexpectedly finds himself rucning a
metropolitan- restaurant: the numerous
amusing situations be ges into acd out
of with q ial facility, will all be laugha
bly and srotesqaely set forth to tbe de
lighted audience. Mr. Kendall's comedy
is cf a kind that keeps an audience in a
continuous uprcar of laughter from tbe
time he stumbles upon the stage until tbe
curtain goes down on the last act. X
body who erjojs fun and p'enty of it
should miss the opportunity of seeing
what has been pronounced to be the fun
niest show cf the season. The mus c-al
features are all Be w and rendered ere-
cla'iy attractive by a company that cc met
highly recommended.
The Memphis (Teaa.) Appeal Ava
lanche has the following to say of "P.x r
Jonathan." the great Csio surest.
which will be sung at tte Bartis opera
house on Tuesdiv. Feb. 2:
Mr.ioeket's ccme-.iy per, "PX(r Jon
atban.' ws pleasingly produced at tbe
Grand opera house last ciaht by tte Coo-
ried Opera company. The scenes ate
laid in New York c;ty. Monte Cirlo fnd
West Point. The plot is rather cmali-
cated, aid. of course, ratter improbable,
but it serves its purpose, upon which to
create an amusiag and musical comic op
era, depicting tbe trials and tribulation
of an American m llion aire. The cast s
strong and composed of clever people
who appear to advantage n their respec
tive roles.
The famous Symphony club, of Xew
York, will give one of its excellent con
certs at the F.rst Baptist church next
Friday evening:
Tte New York Symphony club ap
peared at the opera bouhe last night under
the auspices of the . XI. C. A., to a
large, appreciative audience. To say the
concert was grand will but convey a faint
idea cf tbe impression they made. Each
individual performtr was bearnly en
cored. The Iatcllicencer, Wheeling. W.

A ItlMdjr Trail.
A bloody trail along Second avenue
this afternoon caused much comment as
to its cause. It has since been learned
that it came from the foot of a colored
man from the lower part of the city who
had cut his foot with an ax and ws
looking for a doctor to dress it.
Tbe man's name was George Johnson
and he resides on Sixth street. The in
lHred foot was dressed by Dr. Meyers and
it ia not thought by the doctor to be of
any serioui consequence.
Htepo t the Viadaer.
Mayor McCenochie and Lieut. Thomp
son beld a conference at the viaduct Sat
urday afternoon regarding tbe feasibility
of erecting sters at the Second avenue
crossing, and this it was decided to do,
tbe intention of Lieut. Tatnpjoa being
to put in spiral steps, starting on ,he west
side of tbe viaduct and reaching tbe top
about where tbe guard bouse is now situ
ated.
Fail to do Oar Duty.
Everybody has at times failed to do
tbtir duty toward themselves. Hun
dreds cf lady readers suffer from sick
headache, nervousness, sleeplesness and
female troubles. Let tbem follow the
example of Mrs. U. Herbechter, Stevens
foint, wis,, who for five years suffered
greatly from nervous prostration and
sleeplessness, tried physicians and diner
ent medicines without success. But one
bottle of Dr. Miles' Nervine caused sound
sleep every nigbt and she is feeling like a
new person. Mrs. Elizabeth Wheeler
Laramie City, Wyoming, who tried all
otber remedies, declares that after three
weeks' use of the Nervine for headache.

tirely relieved. Scld by Uartz & Bahn
